Miguel releases Rogue Waves EP

Today, Miguel released his Rogue Waves EP, featuring 5 remixes of Waves, with a different artist on each track.  Tame Impala, Joshua Tree, RAC, Kacey Musgraves, and Travis Scott are all featured on the EP.  Coincidentally, Miguel released this 4 years (almost) to the day Adorn was released. (February 27th 2012)

I immediately woke up at 3AM and went on iTunes and bought the album.

Each track has a different feel to it, and I can't pick just one as my favorite.

Kacey Musgraves, a country artist, really turned this song around to make it something you would never expect it to become.  I wouldn't even consider this a remix, but more of a duet remake.  This one has such a soft and relaxing feel, an acoustic version.

The RAC version, the longest track on the EP, has a mono feel, with a completely different take on the background.  This one is never going to feel stale come 10 years.  Similar to JUSTICE, but way better.  Like, 100% better.

the Joshua Tree remix brings Miguel's vocals out to the front of the song.  Another acoustic version, yet completely different than Kacey Musgraves' version.  The soft feel of this track makes you focus all on the vocals.

the Travis Scott version has been out for about a month now.  The song was heavily promoted during Miguel's Wildheart Motel installation, with footage from those two nights being used in this song's music video.

Tame Impala, an Australian rock band, remixed Waves and created a refreshing version of it that relaxes you so much, you don't even realise it's a remix.  This may be my favorite one.

I honestly cannot stand remixes because I always feel that they ruin the original song, but these 5 tracks put that feeling to rest.  Each version has its own personality and greatly differs from another.

Miguel knows exactly what he's doing by promoting Waves and giving the song the second wind it doesn't need.  Miguel has so many tricks up his (tattooed) sleeve in 2016 and this is just the beginning.  Can't wait.

happy Valentine's day

Miguel opens Wildheart Motel

Once an abandoned motel designed in the 70s, Miguel and his team turned this 21-room motel into an art installment.

On January 30th and 31st, Wildheart Motel was open for everyone to experience Miguel's visions.

Since Miguel's first album was released, I knew Miguel was very big into art.  As the years went on, so did his love for art.  Miguel loves creating, designing, and living artwork.  

the Wildheart Motel had a live stage and rooms with a different theme in each one.  A grass hill, blacklight room, a waterfall, cave room, a room with a giant breasted pillow, webcam room, room filled with mini fridges, an upside down room, etc..

Miguel took to the stage the first night with Rihanna joining in, and Tory Lanez and Bryson Tiller attended the second night with performances on the roof of the motel.

The motel looked vaguely similar to what took place in Miguel's video for Waves.  I'm not surprised if this is what Miguel had in mind.  

I think that Miguel is covering this up by saying "art installment" but it's really something else.  Whatever it is, I love it.

by Miguel doing this, it goes to show how one of a kind he really is.  There is not one artist you can compare Miguel to because he stands out that much from everyone else. 

A website was available to watch the live stream of the events all night, wildheartmotel.com, with a chat room.  Miguel went on the chat room briefly and was answering some questions anyone had.  Someone in the chatroom asked when will he have another tour, and Miguel answered "in 2016"

Miguel is up to something and he's being sneaky but it's a good sneaky that will get me more and more anxious and excited because all I do day in and day out is think about Miguel and I can never get enough of Miguel 

the minute tickets are on sale for Miguel's 2016 tour, I will be online getting them
